Harrods

After a failed trip to some cultural landmark, I can’t remember what, Jocelyn and I decided to scrap it all and head to Knightsbridge. She wanted to see her old flat from when she lived here before and Grandma told me I needed to see Harrods, so it was a good excuse. 

One of the first things we saw there was MAC Cosmetics. I didn’t bring one tube of lip gloss  to England, so a chance to buy a new tube of lip glass was something I couldn’t pass up. Although, I was able to pass up the gorgeous room dedicated to equally gorgeous hand bags. I was like being a diabetic kid in a candy store. 

Since clothes shopping on a students budget is completely impractical, we stayed in the food halls (weren’t quite as impressive as I would have liked) and ventured toward the home appliances section (toward the Christmas room). The Christmas room was like my greatest dream realized. If you know anything about me, during December you know that I’m inexplicably obsessed over decorating for the Christmas holiday. If you are wondering, the next time I can decorate for Christmas the colors will be green and cream (I already purchased everything from stockings, to Christmas cards and ornaments last year during the half off after Christmas sales - so yeah, it’s serious). 

I cannot tell you how tempted I was to buy just a few boxes worth of things and have them shipped directly home (I think my parents would have shipped it back in lieu of it adding more clutter to the garage). There were bulbs and ornaments, Harrods teddy bear bulbs, nutcrackers, the most beautiful cards you’ve ever seen. And the Christmas carols were playing like it was the day after Thanksgiving.

We also fell in love with the puppies that were in the animal room next to the Christmas room. I’m pretty sure there was a vet or a grooming service there. Can you imagine paying to have your pooch get nails clipped at Harrods?
